to-do farmer aged - years, committed
suicide last night. Mr.. Washburn had
his toes frozen last winter, and gangrene
having set in the doctors decided that

his mind became somewhat affected. He
brooded over his misfortune, but his
movem nts were not closely watched.
At $50 o'clock last evening Mr.. Wash
burn sent Ii wife to bed and then went
to the kitchen, whe:e he procured razor
and drew it across his throat from ear to
ear. He failed, however. to sever the
jugular vein, and finding that he would
not die from his wound, he went to a
shed out by the roadside, took a halter
strap, tied one end around his throat and
fastened the other to beam, and then
knelt down. He must ha e strangled and
bled slowly to death. His wife knew
nothing of the affair until she came down

How q Minority aiakos Ilself a Majority.
Now and then a Southern man or news
paper blurta out something that makea
the Northern Democracy uncomfortable
and should close Its mouth on the question
Of tho suppressed vote. The Charleston
NcWs and Courier, in discussing lamenta-
bio situation In It's State, makes this apollo
ge.ic explanation: %
There ia oerious decentralization to-day
In South Carolina on account Of tho cleo
ton practices which weso 80 common.
There is come little difficulty In making
o young man, for exa,iple, draw distinc.
ton between the obligation Of an oath
taken as a juror and The obligation OF On
oath taken at tho polls on election day,
or as q witneaa in tho trial for the violation
OF an election law. For this reason differ.
ont plans have been suggested by which
the minority may continue to BIO the ma
jority. Y.
The young man who has boen raised in
South Carolina and cannot BIO made to
understand tho delicate distinction be-
tween his oath az juror in csso be-
tween white litigants, or between q white
man and the State, on the one hand, md
his oath in an election case involving color
cd votes, is ontitledtosympathy. Heis the
victim OF bis education. He, -hsa been
taught to believe nothing crimo / by
which "the minority may continue to BIZ
tho msjority," and no knows that to give
false tsatimony'that will help the domi
nant minority will elevate him in the CO
TEEN Of his neighbors. e
Having learned this code Of morals, It il
difficult to teach the young man tho new
trick OF telling the truth and ac!ing hon
eatly whenever he 10 sworn. The young
men is merely carrying his instruction
further than was intended. He has beer
unable to appreciate the fine distinction
between the coda OF morals to be applied
to white mon, and that prepared to DO sp'
piled to colored men only.
Admissions OF this character will have
no effect on the Doughfaces and Mug.
wumps. They do not bother themselves
about the manner Of continuing the mi.
nority as majority. Il ID enough for
them that their party profits by tho meth
ods employed. They care nothing about
the "serious decentralization on account
Of the election practices which were 80
common" and have not improved.
Fortunately for the Charleston Nere
and Courier, its well-knoHn devotion to
the cause Of the triumphant minority per
niits it 10 deliver these little curtain lee
lures without being charged with waving
the bloody ahir.. .s-. = u.
